'Lost In The Pressure' is the latest album from Dive Index, an electro-acoustic collaborative project spearheaded by songwriter/producer Will Thomas. Recorded in New York City and Los Angeles, the album features vocals by Isaiah Gage and Simone White. Will, Isaiah and Simone share co-writing credits.
Simone White is an LA based singer/songwriter who has released three well-received albums on Damon Albarn's Honest Jon's record label. Her songs have been used in many TV ads, including 'The Beep Beep Song' featured in a popular Audi commercial. Simone's affinity for music was shaped by a non-traditional upbringing in a family of musicians, artists and performers.


Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn (EvKL) examines what he calls "Real Liberalism" in chapter 13 of this book. I think it is worthwhile to capture his understanding of this political and economic philosophy.
Let us look at the verbal meaning. The root is liber ("free"). The term liberalis (and liberalitas) implies generosity in intellectual and material matters.
Such generosity, at least in intellectual matters, would seem a natural result of the freeing of the individual from the religious and cultural traditions of pre-Renaissance and pre-Reformation Europe.
Up to the beginning of the Nineteenth century the word "liberal" figured neither in politics nor really in economics.
For his timeline, he points to the first use of the term in politics or economics in 1812 Spain. The revolutions in both America and France at the end of the eighteenth century would mark a more appropriate starting point; I think the distinction in events is important, even though the few decades separating EvKL's timeline and mine seem rather insignificant.
We are referring here to the Manchester School whose philosophical (or theological) roots were deep in the soil of deism. God, the Great Architect, had created the world nearly perfect. All evils were due to human intervention which upset the Divine plan.
If state and society never intervened in commerce and industry, these would automatically flourish, while all artificial limitations, rules or regulations-for instance, guilds, labor laws, tariffs, currency reforms, etc.-would bring about the downfall of prosperity.
A libertarian can easily agree with the issue of non-interference by a state actor in commerce and industry. This causes one to wonder: if God's plan is perfect and it is beneficial for man to not intervene in matters of commerce, why is not beneficial that this perfect plan not also be interfered with in the social, cultural and religious fields. In other words, why not remove the interference into God's perfect plan by these voluntarily-formed societal institutions?
EvKL finds a mix of Calvinism and the Renaissance in this pre-liberal thought. There is much good in the offspring of this marriage; for example, one cannot deny the valuable economic progress. I have written elsewhere about the dangers – especially about the focus on the individual at the expense of all possible reasonably voluntary governance institutions.
Though perhaps not entirely unaffected by deism, it had to a large extent the leadership of thinkers with decided religious affiliations or at least strong sympathies for the Christian tenets.
I cannot parse out the distinction between "not entirely unaffected by deism" and "strong sympathies for the Christian tenets." Deists hold strong sympathies for the Christian tenets: they appreciate the ethic and they believe in the watchmaker.
The distinction hinges on troublesome features such as the Virgin Birth and physical Resurrection. Once these are taken as myth, the slippery slope has begun to the loss of Christian ethics. No eternal life? Well, then: he who dies with the most toys wins. I am not sure when the slippery slope hit bottom; maybe World War One?
We rightly cringe when greed is blamed for the economic woes of the last decades – as if greed is something new. Instead, perhaps, it is that the belief in the reality of eternal life was the now-missing regulator of greed.
So, I do not see a very clean distinction between the pre-liberal phase and the early liberal phase: the pre-liberals (as EvKL labels these) gave us the two most important liberal revolutions in history – this cannot be swept aside; both phases were driven by a religious view based on something less than the Christianity of the Bible.
Many of these early liberals were not lovers of freedom besides being Christians but took their political inspiration either directly from Scripture or from theology.
To these "good" liberals, there was no freedom outside of Christian ethics and some selected aspects of the theology; yet, this should not be taken to mean anything more than Deism, given my reading here and elsewhere. The benefits of the ethics without the foundation for the ethics – a house built on sand.
Man has an immortal soul, man has a personality, man is not an accident of blind forces of nature, man needs freedom because God wants him not only to develop his personality in the right direction but also to live a moral life, freely (but rightly!) choosing between good and evil.
Good and evil under whose definition? It is easy to proclaim a Christian ethic; it is difficult to sustain a Christian ethic without an institution in a position of authority behind it. No, for the one-thousandth time, I am not calling for theocracy. One need not find in every moral transgression a physical punishment here on earth.
When the Church excommunicated a king, it did not throw him in prison; it was the king that had the army, after all, not the Church. Yet, this excommunication often worked to modify the king's behavior.
From the aforementioned it is obvious that the religious aspect of early liberalism was more strongly developed among Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and those supporters of the Reformation faiths who had broken with the strict views of the Reformers, who were "Erasmian" and Zwinglian rather than Calvinistic or Lutheran.
One cannot be but struck by the broad array of denominations of the individuals that in some way or another contributed to the development or advancement of liberal thought. They had one thing in common, an unfortunately unstated premise, perhaps; a premise without which all of their writing about liberty was in vain. The writing was based on the assumption that such liberal thought was meaningless if not built on the Christian foundation from which it came.
EvKL does offer that the political side of liberalism carried more sway in those from the Catholic faith while the economic side of liberalism was better appreciated in the Reformed. It is an interesting distinction, perhaps one that finds light today in the debates about moral versus pragmatic and economic arguments regarding liberty.
EvKL continues to describe in some detail the political evolution of the times, the ideas of equality and individual that transformed their aversion to democracy into an embrace of democracy: one man, one vote. Ultimately, this led to the forces of the left dominating, as has been seen throughout the west since at least the beginning of the twentieth century – coinciding with the birth of the period we today label as Progressive.
Yet probably more important than this change was the reappraisal of religion, especially of Christianity. Many of the neoliberals declared that it is not sufficient to prove that "liberty delivers the goods," that freedom is more agreeable or more productive than slavery. There must be philosophical and even theological reasons why liberty must be achieved, fostered, preserved.
EvKL cites Professor Wilhelm Röpke, who says even if it is proved that a planned economy is materially superior, he would still prefer freedom. A somewhat different view than that held by libertarians who see material improvement as the measure of liberty.
Under these circumstances sacrifices of a material order would have to be made to preserve the dignity of man.
Them's fightin' words in many libertarian circles. But one sees just this in the economic laws of the Middle Ages. While infinitely less onerous than what we face today, a handful of laws restricting the absolute freedom of the private property owner in relation to his property.
From such views we can deduct that the neoliberals had, in a certain way, a greater affinity with the early liberals than with their immediate predecessors.
Indeed, we have before us two problems to be solved: first, to find out how it happened that liberalism in the United States evolved into the very opposite of what it set out to be-if it did "evolve"!-(thereby morally forfeiting the right to call itself "liberal''), and second, later on, to analyze what conservatism, old and new, really stands for or, at least, ought to stand for.
"Deists hold strong sympathies for the Christian tenets: they appreciate the ethic and they believe in the watchmaker.
The distinction hinges on troublesome features such as the Virgin Birth and physical Resurrection. Once these are taken as myth, the slippery slope has begun to the loss of Christian ethics. No eternal life? Well, then: he who dies with the most toys wins. I am not sure when the slippery slope hit bottom; maybe World War One?"
This is an excellent quote. I offer that "Mere Christianity" was written from a BBC series of talks Lewis engaged in from 1941 to 1944- which were probably in response to your surmised "bottoming" and fit timeline wise.
I have to say that I'm probably more in line with the Deist thinking at this moment in my life, but CS Lewis's eternal questions posed in Mere Christianity are always in the back of my mind, one of which includes "Where does morality come from?"
In that regard, I think there plenty of people that don't default to "those with the most toys" mentality that fall along Deist lines of thinking- probably out of an internal acknowledgement of Lewis's question/thinking on the topic of morality in the back of their minds.
That being said, I have no doubt that some Muslim's that throw gays off of rooftops think they are doing the moral thing...or Neocon's starving/bombing babies to oust "oppressive" regimes(irony).
So the question of "Where does morality come from?" remains as relevant as ever.
Nick: "Where does morality come from?"
Morality is the operating system of society. I believe it is partly genetic, partly epigenetic and partly nurture.
If you live alone in a cabin in the woods, can you then be moral (or a-moral)?
I would argue for 'no'. It is impossible to be moral or amoral if you have no interaction with other people.
Thus morality only exists between people. It rules how people interact. I.e. its the API (or operating system) of society.
Btw: I am perfectly willing to concede that morality as a ding-an-sich does not exist. Its just a name we have given to a concept that has proven useful. I.e. morality (as name) is created after the fact.
Some months ago I came across the etymology of the words "moral" and "ethics." They both derive from the word "custom."
Now, whether one believes that this custom was God-given, gods-given, or developed based on 100,000 years of "what worked" (worked toward what end...perhaps to sustain and advance life), is secondary to the point I think - at least regarding the conversation at this blog.
As to today's morality of "he who dies with the most toys wins," Nick I agree it isn't driving the vast majority of people; I find it the guiding morality of those who society sees (or is told) as "noble."
Nobles no longer act noble, in the civilization-building sense. That's what I am getting at.
"Nobles no longer act noble, in the civilization-building sense. That's what I am getting at."
I think your commentary regarding the need for the Christian community(s) to lead a resurgence in a moral(noble?)ethics to counterbalance to state power is spot on.
I think I've mentioned before here that I find the overwhelming glorification of the state(in various ways) by what are in essence lapdog Christian churches to be both distasteful personally, but more importantly a giant distraction to Christians themselves(I can't count myself as such at this time) from what their priority should be- meaning an "everlasting kingdom" instead of the ones they happens to live under today. Maybe at the risk of their "everlasting soul".
I've joked, but really it's "kidding on the straight", that Christians in general and their churches were better off(spiritually) when the state was feeding them to lions before they made their pact with the proverbial Devil and they embraced the state and in turn the state embraced them.(speaking of ancient Rome- but it may relate to other time frames) Granted, the incentive to not be fed to lions is strong.
The interesting thing about the Founders notion of the separation of church and state, specifically Jefferson's really, was so the state did not subvert the Church- but he probably didn't see the fact that Christians would willingly subvert themselves to it regardless of their moral conflicts.
The state still pecks around the edges of the Christian community- like threatening to withhold tax exemption status over what they deem as "political speech", but on the whole the state doesn't need to do much as many of the Christian population has willingly subverted their moral code/beliefs to the state.
One question though. You talk about visiting churches that glorify the state. I am curious to know how they do that. I am trying to understand if I am in churches that do the same thing but am blind to it. Trying be more self aware.
One other quick note that may be of interest to you BM, there's a BBC series that is "historical fiction" I've enjoyed watching from time to time that is done around the time period that you referenced in some of your earlier works, specifically that of Alfred the Great and his fights and allegiances with the Danes set in the late 9th century- that I think in my ways is relevant to your exploration of the impact of German/barbarian culture on "liberty" and the interplay between them,the Church, and the state.
There is certainly some "hollywood" to the series, but there are also many interesting explorations of said interactions from a Saxon viewpoint and especially highlighted is the role of the Church between the pagans/heathens and the King.
I stream, but I think Netflix picked it up as well- I think you would enjoy it if you have time to watch it now and then.
I watch that show too. The third season just came out on Netflix, so I'm excited to watch it. Is Utred a real character or is he someone the writers made up to make the show more interesting? He has a difficult line to walk with allegiances to both Alfred and his viking brother.
It's kind of neat that this show picks up pretty much where the show Vikings left off. Vikings is another good show even if it tends to romanticize the Norse culture and somewhat disparage the Christian one.
Recently I saw a fantastic movie about a later period in the UK called "Outlaw King" with Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce. This movie sort of picks up where Braveheart left off. It shows how important the Church's blessing was to crowning a new king and also how important it was for kings to get the consent of the other nobles and powerful families. It also portrays a successful war of secession against a more powerful opponent.
Of course, I'm excited about the last season of Game of Thrones coming out in the Spring. It's obviously not historical but there's a lot of hard truths woven into the story and George R.R. Martin has said that it was the 100 years war between the nobles of England and France that inspired much of the story - apart from the dragons and the icemen I suppose.
" I am curious to know how they do that. I am trying to understand if I am in churches that do the same thing but am blind to it."
1. At a VBS in a Presbyterian church this summer they had the US flag next to Christian flag and started the services with the pledge of allegiance. I told my kids to remain seated(always fun) while the rest of the congregation started off with the pledge.
I don't think I have to explain further in that case.
He was a brilliant man, though obviously misguided. I just didn't feel like arguing the point as I'm already considered "extreme" to most of my family members on both sides of my family and it gets tiring and is disruptive to argue with them all the time.
Anyway, I could go on forever really...but maybe I'm just more "in tune" or "sensitive" to it than others.
I did have refreshing conversation with an ophthalmologist this summer from my wife's home church in which he offered that he thought that the "just war" criteria had not been fulfilled in any of the recent wars the US has been engaged in- but he was early in his thinking on the topic so I didn't add too much, just kind of reinforced his direction. He's Episcopalian.
My wife has spent most of her time in protestant churches(and kids), but the last few Christmas's I've hauled them into Catholic churches(I was baptized Catholic) just for a different perspective. I have to say, I see far less of the state worship in the Catholic churches than the Protestant.
That is very kind and thank you.
I have seen the US and Christian flags together. But it hasn't been prominent in churches I have attended. I think I have seen the pledge in a Baptist church before a youth event. I agree let's get the flag and pledge out of churches. I do think we should respect the government we are under for the moment and I think it is even okay to thank God that we live in a country where we can worship out in the open. I am not comfortable doing much more.
Even though my brother is in the military, i have always been uncomfortable with people thanking those in the military for their service. They chose it. They get very well compensated for it. Most of what they do doesn't directly protect me. I still think there is some role for the Navy to protect trade routes. It would probably be better if the US Navy controlled less and worked with other nations though.
"Is Utred a real character or is he someone the writers made up to make the show more interesting?"
Well the writer of the book series the show is based on, Bernard Cornwell, created the character based on his personal lineage that ran through Bebbanburg and there were "Uhtred"'s about that timeframe but nothing much documented beyond that.
I like their treatment of mysticism and grounding in reality as opposed to Game of Thrones, which I watch too, but requires dramatic suspension of disbelief- unlike The Last Kingdom.
I'm coming around to the "historical fiction" genre.
The writer himself seems an interesting person and has written historical fiction in other areas and a purely historical treatment on Waterloo.
"I do think we should respect the government we are under"
I disagree, but I appreciate the fact you're here and reading- obviously you're intellectually challenging yourself which is commendable.
BM: "how it happened that liberalism in the United States evolved into the very opposite of what it set out to be-if"
It is difficult to look at this problem from the intellectual angle, possibly because we are only looking at the results from a deeper mechanism. If the mechanism selects the philosophy then looking for philosophical caused will always fail -or at leats be unsatisfactory.
One candidate for this underlying mechanism might be economics. The cycle would be something like: Authoritarianism provides a stable environment in which liberalism can flourish which allows the emergence of socialism. Socialism undermines authoritarianism such that the stable environment collapses, destroying liberalism, destroying socialism after which the cycle starts anew.
Evolutionary speaking, this allows for better and better societies to emerge. If the process got stuck in liberalism, then evolution (of societies) would stop as well.
Personally, I don't think it's any more complicated than people coopting popular movements for their own purposes. Not even sure it requires authoritarians to implement. The number of people following a movement tends to be much greater than the number of people who truly understand it.
Most of the followers are primarily concerned with some, er, injustice the movement is intended to address. Other proposed methods of addressing the injustice can easily be grafted to the movement, even if those methods are fundamentally in opposition to the movements true goals. I've seen this happen so many time in my life I've become wary of backing any idea that reaches the level of public awareness.
Not sure I followed this one that well. Which is the bad liberal the Neo-liberal? Or the socialist?
The main thing I focused on though was the initial idea of the Deist, "The world is near perfect and therefore individuals should be left alone." Can I agree with the 2nd part and disagree with the 1st?
The 2nd, individuals should be left alone to pursue their own ends is what I would call, liberty. It presupposes the dignity of the individual and their right by the creator's intention to do what they want more or less. Once you take that presupposition away, I don't see a good defense for liberty.
I believe this so far because the 1st statement, the world is more or less perfect is false. I agree there is an order to human interaction that works as described by Mises. It does work theoretically and can be shown by logical axiom. But how things proceed practically is not as clean as the theory. This is explained by a major tenet of the Bible, that humanity is fallen and as a result the rest of the world. The perfect created order is broken. It doesn't function as it should.
I think that is one of the big problems with the liberal or neo-liberal world view. That doesn't mean that authoritarian government is then necessitated. You don't give more and more rule over to a fallen man or small group of men. They can't be trusted.
From this error, I think it reasonable to think that liberalism proceeded from "good" to "bad" because it became further and further un-moored from the Bible.
If my response sounds jumpy and dislocated a bit that is because my understanding of the article is also dislocated a bit.
If individuals should be left alone to pursue their own liberty, on what basis could you suggest that good liberalism was lost due to the un-mooring from the Bible? Or, is it necessary (call it helpful, perhaps) for liberty if the Bible does NOT leave us alone – in which case perhaps you DIS-agree with the second part?
In other words – are there preconditions to a generally libertarian society – preconditions that should not leave us alone if we value liberty?
I associate liberty with volunteerism. You have to value and pursue the Bible on your own. If it is forced on you, then it is hard for me to call it liberty. I think that is why early liberals fought against the church and organized religion. They had no choice. It was a part of the state. You were taxed to pay the church.
I think liberals in their quest for freedom made a big mistake. They through out the baby with the bath water so to speak. There may have been coercive or constraining aspects of European Christendom but that doesn't mean that a relationship with God through His Word is not a requirement to understand and pursue liberty.
I think metaphorically the Bible should not leave us alone, but practically an individuals volition needs to be involved otherwise it will be viewed as another source of repression, which it has historically. Society has done that to its own peril as you have described eloquently on this blog. They have lost freedom in the pursuit of freedom. But how do you go back to church/state or unified catholic Church? I don't see a way forward like that. The only path I see is convincing individuals.
I guess it depends on what we mean when we say "forced."
To me there is a crucial difference between using physical force to coerce payments to and behavior in accordance with the doctrines of the Church, and using social pressure (via public rebuke, dissociation, boycott, ostracism, etc.) to accomplish the same.
"There may have been coercive or constraining aspects of European Christendom but that doesn't mean that a relationship with God through His Word is not a requirement to understand and pursue liberty."
I could not agree more. I think it is the great tragedy of the modern age that liberty got stuck on the side of social radicalism (Puritanism, democratism, spiritualism, subjectivism, nihilism, libertinism, socialism etc.) against the socio-religious institutions that had served for a 1000 years or more as its great benefactor and steward due to their corruption thanks to the reemergence of the state in the 17th century.
It's very clear in the Bible and in Catholic teaching that it requires individual devotion to Jesus in order to be saved. You cannot be saved without choosing Him. I think this fact should dissuade us from using physical violence to force the Christian way of life on anyone. Social pressure, however, may be necessary.
As far as a way forward goes, I don't think anyone has a better strategy than Robert Nisbet (well, him filtered through a Rothbardian lens). We must quest to rebuild community locally from the ground up by strengthening the ties of our families, friends, churches, charities, and associations. I think this means we have to ignore the services of the state, even though we're forced to pay for them, and solve our problems ourselves.
"...how do you go back to church/state or unified catholic Church? I don't see a way forward like that."
Nor do I, though God's powers and vision are greater than mine.
However, individual denominations, churches, etc., can do the task of speaking truth to power. I am on solid Biblical and Christian ground to expect this much from them.
Unless something like this happens, I find it difficult to find a meaningful move toward liberty.
As to the issue of force / voluntary, ATL has offered thoughts with which I agree.
Kuehnelt-Leddihn is someone who simply must be read by anyone who is (or sympathizes with) Christian(s) and cares about liberty. I like to highlight in my books as I read, and with him, I find myself nearly highlighting every sentence. I pat myself on the back when I find a few sentences or even a paragraph that isn't worthy of the yellow ink. There's almost no filler in his books.
Having said that, there are some things in his analysis of liberalism that give me the impression he has at least a slight error somewhere. When he breaks down what left and right is, I think he is spot on, but then when he applies the label to individuals he baffles me at times.
For instance, he has Ludwig von Mises, Clemenceau and Bismarck in the same category of liberal. Bismarck, the liberal precursor to everything that is wrong with modern liberalism was the same kind of liberal as Mises? No way.
He also portrays Alexander Hamilton in a favorable light in regards to liberty (or rightism) as compared to Thomas Jefferson. Given his descriptions of left and right, I cannot fathom how he failed to see the more potent leftism in Hamilton.
This guy is so brilliant though, perhaps there is something I am missing? I know Jefferson had his leftist side as well - I won't deny that. I think Kuehnelt-Leddihn is basing his classification of liberals more on culture than economic or political characteristics.
There are parts of his analysis, etc., with which I also struggle - and disagree. Like you, however, I find many gems that make him still worth reading.
The word "liberalism" has many definitions. You might read "Liberalism is a Sin" by the Jesuit Salva y Sardany for an interesting exposition.
Anything left of Yahweh's right is left, liberal, and ungodly.
Yahweh's right, that is, His *right*eousness is reflected in His triune and integral moral law, that is, the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and judgments. Consequently, today's antinomian (anti-law) Christians are left, liberal, and ungodly. They're essentially humanists with a Christian facade.
For more on how Yahweh's immutable moral law applies and should be implemented today, see free online book "Law and Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant" at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/law-kingdomFrame.html.


The second half of week 2 highlights an amazing pork dish with gorgonzola and pears that's surprisingly easy to make. The remaining gorgonzola goes into a mushroom breakfast scramble that's so creamy and delicious. The flank steak dish was also a favorite dish of ours from this part of the week - the chimichurri sauce is bright and the roasted vegetables are perfect for Fall.

Apple forms subsidiary to sell excess clean power
An apple a day keeps climate change away
Sebastian Moss
In 2014, when Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked about his company's investment in clean energy, he told investors "if you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock." However, Apple may finally start to see returns on its heavy investments into solar and renewable energy.
The company has formed a subsiduary called Apple Energy LLC, which plans to sell excess energy produced at its facilities.
PowerBookkeeping
The new subsiduary has requested approval from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to sell wholesale energy, capacity and "ancillary services" to any company that is not a franchised public utility affiliate from its Oregon, North Carolina, California, Nevada and Arizona data centers, as well as its under-construction new headquarters.
Apple has built numerous solar farms across the US, including the largest end-user solar array and the largest non-utility fuel cell installation in North Carolina, enabling its data centers to run on 100 percent renewable energy in 2013.
Using "conservative assumptions", the total capacity owned or controlled by Apple in the Salt River Project balancing authority areas (BAA) is approximately 198 MW, while in the NV Energy BAA region it is approximately 168 MW and in the California ISO BAA area it is approximately 218 MW.

€200k Settlement in Wrongful Birth Death Compensation Case
Birth Injury in Hospital, Wrongful Death due to Hospital Negligence
The Health Service Executive and a hospital have apologised to the parents of a Ali Dowling Crowe, who died two weeks after her birth, for failings in care at the time of her birth.
Patrick Treacy SC, legal representative for Ali's family, told the court the child suffered brain damage from, what was referred to as, a 'near total deprivation of oxygen' at the time of her birth.
A letter of apology to Ali's parents, Sharon Dowling and Brian Crowe, was read to the the High Court, which said that the HSE and St Lukes Hospital, Carlow/Kilkenny "express an unreserved apology to you and your family for the failings in the care afforded to your child Baby Ali in the course of her birth at this hospital on January 17, 2015. We extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family arising from her subsequent death on February 1st, 2015."
The couple, of Glenvale, Ballyraggert, Kilkenny had taken the legal action against the HSE claiming Ali suffered brain damage during to her delivery. This, they claimed, was caused by an acute near total hypoxic ischemic insult during labour. Ali became unwell upon her delivery on January 17 2015, and passed away on February 1.
In the birth death compensation action it was claimed that Ali's delivery should have taken place 20 or 35 minutes earlier and that a failure to interpret a CTG suitably and take the appropriate step for remedial action. The court was told that there was a partial admission in the case in relation to the CTG trace.
Ali was their first child and both parents said they suffered shock distress and emotional upset following her death.
In a statement made outside court, Ali's parents said that they never imagined that instead of celebrating the birth of their beautiful daughter, they would be arranging her funeral. They said: "Instead of calling loved ones telling them our much anticipated and longed for first born had arrived, we had to impart the devastating news that our baby was dead. On that day our lives changed forever and will never be the same again. We are broken but we choose to live in hope and we will try to get on with our lives, knowing that Ali is in our hearts, our angel in heaven guiding and protecting her parents and two sisters."
Approving the settlement, Ms Justice Bronagh O'Hanlon said she was pleased that there has been an apology issued and wished the family all the best for the future, adding that she was aware that no words from her or compensation could console the parents who have lost their first child.

Q: Is it possible to change subpage name to searched word? Is it possible to rename a subpage to searched word?
So for example if you search "abc" in the search box (made using the code below)
<input name="name" type="search">
<button type="submit">search</button>

Then the site would send you to subpage called "abc"
https://examplewebsite.com/abc

EDIT:
Thanks to Justinas for telling me the answer. To get this working you need to change these 2 lines to
<input type="text" id="name">
<input type="submit" value="Search" onclick="Search(name)" />

and then create a new file <your file>.js, then just add a function
function Search(name) {
    var name = document.getElementById("name").value;
    window.location.href = name
}

Finally, you have to add a line to your website "head" so it reads the javascript file.
<script type="text/javascript" src="search.js"></script>

A: Not using HTML on its own, but like this

document.querySelector("form").addEventListener("submit",function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  location=document.getElementById("name").value;
})
<form>
<input name="name" id="name" type="search">
<button type="submit">search</button>
</form>

Visitors From The United States Will Still Have To Quarantine, Says Grant Shapps
Coronavirus has changed everything. Make sense of it all with the Waugh Zone, our evening politics briefing. Sign up now.
The United States will be on the "red list" of countries from which visitors to the UK will still have to have quarantine for 14-days when they arrive, Grant Shapps has confirmed.
The two-week self-isolation policy for people returning to or visiting England from destinations such as Spain, France, Italy and Germany is being lifted from July 10.
A full list of around 60 countries deemed to pose "a reduced risk to the public health of UK citizens" will be published later on Friday.
But speaking to BBC Radio 4′s Today programme, Shapps was asked if the United States would be on a "red list" of countries not included.
"I'm afraid it will be," the transport secretary said.
July 1 saw 52,000 new infections reported across the United States, a record-breaking number.
Shapps also told BBC Breakfast that passengers who are currently isolating for 14 days will be able to break the restrictions legally from next Friday.
He said while "nothing could happen" before July 10, "from that point onward you will be legal not to quarantine yourself".
Ministers failed to guarantee reciprocal arrangements with all the included nations, meaning some may require English holidaymakers to go into quarantine at the beginning of their trip.
They were also unable to convince the devolved administrations to sign off on the overall plan, with the DfT stating that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will "set out their own approach".
The requirement for everyone arriving into the UK – bar a handful of exemptions – to self-isolate for 14 days was introduced on June 8.
It was met with fierce criticism over the impact on the UK's travel, tourism and hospitality industries.

As more jurisdictions start taxing e-cigarettes, the vapor industry and its customers can only hope for reason and restraint in the world's revenue departments.
By Shane MacGuill
Increasingly, global and regional governments appear willing to look to e-cigarette consumption as a source of public revenue, with taxation, particularly on e-liquid, becoming an ever more prominent policy issue in jurisdictions worldwide.
Of course, the drive to taxation is increasingly at odds with a more positive scientific view of the products from the health community—it is hard to reconcile the relatively safe, potentially lifesaving product described in the recent Public Health England report with almost any level of taxation, much less the tobacco-style taxation often mooted. Assuming the industry manages to sustain itself in the face of the restrictive regulatory developments that 2016 promises, what (perhaps even greater) challenges await in the form of excise taxation?
In most instances the rationale for taxation of e-cigarette products appears to be either administrative or speculative. In the case of the former, where e-cigarettes and vapor products have been legislated for "as tobacco," the logic of excise taxation follows as night does day. (The Minnesota, USA, state revenue service advances the straightforward proposition: "E-cigarettes and e-juice are considered tobacco products and are subject to the tobacco tax.") In the latter scenario, an explicit connection is made between dwindling tax revenue from combustible products and the need to "fill the gap" through taxation of products that are, at least in part, contributing to this decline.
For example, ruminating on the drop in Italian tobacco tax revenue, Giancarlo Scotta, member of the European Parliament, asked the EU Council in 2013 "what action it intends to take to address the differences in tax revenue materializing in state coffers following the proliferation of electronic cigarettes, which currently appear to be free from any form of duty."
While these twin logics are potent drivers in themselves, it is a point of some optimism for the e-cigarette sector that, outside some nongovernmental organizations, there appears to be little outright support for e-cigarette sin taxation in itself—in other words, framing them as products that uniquely require disincentivization (rather than simply inheriting taxation as a function of a broader regulatory categorization). Indeed, there are encouraging signs that governments eventually may be willing (or may be forced) to tax along a continuum of risk in order to retain an advantage, of kinds, for e-cigarette and vapor products against their more harmful combustible competitors.
STILL SCARCE
Currently, only a few countries explicitly levy tax on e-cigarette or vapor products. Togo reportedly applies an ad valorem rate of 45 percent to the products, while in South Korea products containing nicotine fall under the purview of Ministry of Strategy and Finance and are taxed at an elevated level of around $1.50 per milliliter of liquid. In the EU, Italy and Portugal have also experimented with e-cigarette taxation.
In the absence of federal regulation and direction, a number of U.S. state legislatures have sought to pass e-liquid taxes. Most of them have failed. While some states have passed e-cigarette taxation, sometimes at substantial levels (67 percent rate on all products in Washington, D.C., for example), others have rejected excise or in certain cases actively sought to protect e-cigarettes from taxation. If consensus on e-cigarette taxation appears difficult to achieve at a state level, the trend to impose excise on vapor has moved to the municipal level as the city council of Chicago, Illinois, USA, prepares to adopt a tax of $1.25 per cartridge and $0.25 per milliliter of e-liquid, as proposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
BACKFIRING IN PORTUGAL AND ITALY
In this respect, where Chicago leads, other large U.S. cities and international jurisdictions are likely to follow with predictably deleterious results. While the effect of taxation on liquid nicotine in Korea is perhaps obscured by the length of time it has been in place—and indeed, huge recent excise increases on tobacco mean that consumption of e-cigarettes is surging there—the impact of taxation on an established, developing vapor market can be seen in the only other two markets that currently apply excise to the products.
At the end of 2014, Portugal imposed taxation of €0.60 ($0.64) per milliliter of e-liquid—in many cases, more than doubling the price per bottle to the consumer. Virtually overnight, the market for e-liquid, which had seen huge growth in 2014, collapsed, with expectations that it contracted well over 75 percent by the end of 2015.
In Italy, meanwhile, after several years of substantial growth during which the user base swelled to some 750,000 vapers by 2013, the imposition of an excise tax has had a substantial impact on the market. The tax was initially set at an outright 58.5 percent in mid-2014, and then a rate of 50 percent of the "tobacco equivalent" was imposed in its stead (after the earlier "tobacco-comparable" rate was suspended following a—ultimately successful—legal challenge).
Between 2013 and 2014 the Italian e-cigarette market lost some 40 percent of its value, and while it is now showing signs of stabilizing (and the current "tobacco equivalent" rate is likely also to be challenged), the advent of the revised Tobacco Products Directive (TPD2) in 2016 promises fresh difficulties. It should be noted that the success of the legal challenge to direct comparison, in effect a validation of a graduated excise regime, is a positive to emerge from the Italian experience.
FRAGMENTATION IN THE NEAR TERM
A further cause of some hope (at least in regard to the overall impact of taxation) is the immediate likelihood that e-cigarette taxation will remain fragmented and geographically limited. While a measure like the impending Chicago tax would undoubtedly make life difficult, if not impossible, for vape stores in the affected urban areas, it would arguably have little impact on the consumption of consumers, because in the absence of a wider state or federal measure, consumers will simply travel to acquire tax-free products or order from vendors online. The same is undoubtedly true of the world's second largest e-cigarette region—Europe—where individual country taxes like those in Portugal and Italy may be less impactful than an EU-wide measure reportedly being investigated by the EU's Fiscalis project (and for which Article 20 of the TPD2 may well lay the groundwork).
There are a range of markets globally where e-cigarette products are either explicitly banned for all commercial sale (e.g., Brazil, Mexico, Turkey) or where a twin-track approach exists (e.g., Australia, Mexico, Scandinavia). In the latter markets, often nicotine-free products are widely available while nicotine e-liquid cartridges and refills are banned or nicotine-containing cartridges and products require a medicinal license (which in most cases amounts to a de facto ban). It is reasonable to suggest that developments in these markets could serve as a proxy for developments in markets where products are made less accessible through the imposition of taxation.
BENEFITTING COMBUSTIBLES AND ILLICITS
Demand for vapor products, most of which are manufactured in China and distributed online, is surging. Restrictions on their availability and affordability are sustaining consumption of combustible products and creating a black market for e-cigarette products and nicotine liquids. As demand grows and restrictions and taxation increase, this phenomenon is likely to become a substantial challenge for authorities, as well as the vapor and tobacco industries.
Surveys in the U.K. and the U.S. indicate that a large minority of e-cigarette users use e-cigarettes to save money. Eliminating the cost advantage of vapor products versus combustible tobacco through the levying of excise would have a predictable impact on the balance of consumption between the categories.
TWIN CERTAINTIES
Further, one can foresee informal markets developing. In July 2014, the results of an E-Cigarette Forum survey suggested that about 80 percent of e-cigarette users would "look to the black market" if products they used were banned. It is reasonable to extrapolate from this expressed inclination that, to some extent, the same would be true if products were rendered less accessible through taxation.
Reports suggest that markets such as Denmark, where nicotine-containing e-liquid is banned, already boast black markets in the products, an effective illicit trade in e-liquids. Anti-illicit enforcement would be made difficult by the fact that products required for e-cigarette use can be reduced to components that, individually, authorities may not be able or want to restrict.
We appear to be left then with a dual set of certainties. In the absence of a rapid (and unlikely) official recognition of the potentially substantial public health benefits of the wider availability and use of e-cigarette products, governments will lurch toward the default application of excise on the category. The second certainty—that the sector will be impacted—is a truism, qualified only by the possibility that enlightened governance in this respect may be limited to the level of variation in rates as against combustible products.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - Hardcover
Item# 69997NH
The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Säpo, Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship.
Though Larsson (1954–2004) tends toward narrative excess, his was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed.

From the beginning, I've had the makings of 4 different book series in my mind. (You've seen the first book in three of them now.) I had to make a choice in March if I was going to work on the first book in the 4th series, or go back and revisit Ellie and crew to find out what happens next in her journey.
Well, it's pretty clear which direction I went and I am so happy that I did. Creating a sequel was a lot more work than I was expecting, but at the same time it was like coming home. Ellie's facing a whole new set of problems in Shadows Deep, and I can tell you that she's finding out things about herself and her past that she never saw coming. And…it's not over yet. I can now share that there will be a third installment of the Shadows series that you will likely see before the end of 2012.
Now for the Fun Stuff: Launch Goodies!!
May 15th is the "official" launch date for Shadows Deep, and I've got some fun stuff planned for everyone.
1) I want to give away some copies of Shadows Deep, of course! So 5 ebook copies (Kindle or Nook) are up for grabs. What do you have to do to be entered to win one? Either comment here on this post OR on my Facebook fan page and tell me who your favorite Edge of Shadows character was and why. I will pick 5 random winners and announce them on Friday, May 18th.
2) The Edge of Shadows Kindle book is on sale through June 30th, 2012 for only $0.99! Grab your copy today or gift one to a friend. On May 15th, you'll even find it for FREE on Amazon.
3) If you like vampires and you haven't tried my vampire series, I invite you to download Heiress of Lies for FREE on May 15th-May 16th. If it strikes your fancy, I'd love to hear from you.
4) I've started a Q&A group over on Goodreads entirely focused on discussing Shadows Deep. Join in the conversation and ask me anything you want as you are reading it.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far on this writing journey, and know I've got lots more planned for you this summer.
I've been a planner since way back. I didn't need to take the Myers-Briggs to know that I have a strong preference towards data-based decisions and am very time-oriented. I experience a high level of stress when I leave the house without my watch on. I am constantly thinking about how to best utilize my time and maintaining an efficient schedule.
So it may surprise you a bit to know that I fell into my book launch schedule more than I actually planned it. I think that is because I recognized that there were a lot of things that I didn't know, and if I set my expectations too high and some went off the rails unexpectedly, I'd be in trouble.
I had to strike a balance between planning and being able to remain nimble. Here's where I landed on the things that I identified as "necessities" in the plan and how it worked out.
Timeline: I decided to bring Edge of Shadows ">Edge of Shadows still hasn't been accepted into Smashwords Premium Catalog which is a requirement to get it distributed to B&N, Sony, and Kobo among others. And once it's accepted, it can take up to another week to before it's submitted as Smashwords only distributes to those outlets once a week. I definitely need to take this into consideration before I publish my next novel.
Gathering the Troops: By far the biggest complaints I've seen on the self-publishing front from readers are either a) lack of editing or b) poor cover design. I knew I was going to have to invest some cash and hire these out. So I had to make some decisions fast. Outcome: I posted for an editor on eLance the day I made the decision to publish, and selected my editor, Christine LaPorte from the 40+ bids that came in. I found Scarlett Rugers through the Nano site and she was running a scary good promotion on cover design that I snapped up. Both delivered on time with no problem.
Sounding the Horn: Book promotion is supposed to start well ahead of the actual live date of the book. I had this site up and running, but it wasn't current. I had a Facebook page set-up, but I didn't even have 25 fans yet to be able to customize my URL. I had let my Twitter handle languish in favor of my other one given my most recent area of interest. I knew this was by far the area that needed the most work. Outcome: I've been spending a lot of time here, and will continue to do so to grow my fan base. This is mission critical, so there's no other way. What I need to do though is be very careful not to let my book promotion take away from my writing time.
You don't have to have a complete business plan drafted to self-publish a book. But I do think that you do have to have realistic expectations of what you can do with the time and money you have available. It is your job and your reputation that you are putting on the line, so it's worth the time to slow down and flesh a couple of the finer details out.
You could have many reasons behind that simple desire. Maybe you've had a story brewing deep down in your gut for what seems like ages. Maybe something happened to you in your life that you always wanted to put down in writing so that it would be remembered forever. Perhaps you simply wish to leave something of yourself behind forever.
Whatever your motivation, it all starts with that simple expression of intention that you sent out to the universe.
I was 12 when I declared that I wanted to be an author. I could give you my laundry list of excuses why it hasn't happened yet, but it doesn't change the fact that I didn't take the necessary action to make that dream a reality until recently.
Oh, I wrote a book. I've written two novels in fact and I have three more in varying states of completion. But what you discover is that the actual writing of the book is only about 40% of your overall journey to getting your work into the hands of any reader.
After that, you enter this confusing realm of book publishing and it is very easy to get good and stuck right there. In fact, that's where I've been for the last three years or so. But not for much long.


So, I recently obtained a Linksys 1900AC router. While it is a powerul router, it really lacks some features I like to see on my router. As a OS X user it would have been nice to see Time Machine support but alas there is nothing. I bought it because there was an implicit promise that you can put OpenWRT on it.
Turns on only with the most recent OpenWRT version is officially supported. I tried version 15.05 RC2 and added TimeMachine support only to see the router degrade my network performance after one week. It actually bothered my roommate so much that she disconnected the "blue box" and put the "beige" box back. Thanks Netflix!
Well, so my overpriced router is standing in the corner without seeing actually usage. But now, 15.05, code name "Chaos Calmer" has officially been released. Hopefully they fixed my performance issues.
Time to give OpenWRT another go but this time by compiling it from source!
Well, I was lying. We are actually not going to compile OpenWRT on OS X, even if the official wiki wants you to believe that is actually possible.
The one piece of information they are mising is that in order to compile OpenWRT you need a file sensitive file system! Which im guessing 99,9% of OS X users don't have as it is not the default. Now I guess you could create a disk image with a file sensitive HFS file system, but let's try something else.
Let's not pollute the main system with dependencies you just need to make your outer work. For this kind of things Docker is amazing and its finally (kind of) working on OS X.
Unfortunately Docker can't run natively on OS X, but at least it runs "seamlessly" using a daemon on a virtual machine. I quote "seamlessly" because I had my fair share of troubles of making it work.
Now you should have a running machine named dev.
Now that Docker is up and running we can create the Docker image.
I'm not the first person coming up with the idea of using a Docker image for compiling OpenWRT. In fact George Jiglau create one and Andreas Kohn forked it and based it on OpenWRT 15.05.
So now we have our Docker image ready to compile OpenWRT. Let's get to it.
It's a good idea to not fiddle arround with too much option but to just go with the defaults and just setup the target system and see if everything compiles.
Run make menuconfig and set the target system.
And now the wait begins. I'm serious. Get some coffee, do laundry, watch a movie. Your mileage may vary but it took arround 2 hours until everything was compiled.
What a glorious day. Everything compiled successfully. Let's save that state of the image, so we can get back to this at a later stage and save us a lot of hassle in the future.
It feels good to have save that work, doesn't it?
Especially because now we mess with the packages we want to integrate in our OpenWRT distribution.
While I love me some terminal, I think it is really nice to have a web interface to configure some of the basic stuff. So let's add it, shall we?
he webinterface is called is called LuCI. It is not in the default set of packages and is supported in a separate "feed".
If you now open make menuconfig. You can add it to installation.
For good measure I throw in a make here, to see if still everything compiles.
I'm basically following the steps from shairport-sync-for-openwrt. I opted to get bleeding edge and use the development branch, which supports shairport 2.4.
select Sound > shairport-sync. I made sure its not selected as a module but built in.
After hours of downloading and compiling things, the image is finally ready! .
All we have do is getting it onto the router. But first let's get it onto the host machine. As my router is already running OpenWRT, I actually just need the upgrade package.
Now connect to your router with an Ethernet cable (you really don't want to flash your device over WiFi).
Luckily my old installation also was running LuCI, which offers a interface for uploading a system upgrade.I just quickly deselect the box to keep my settings (I wanted to start fresh).
I upload the image and stare at my monitor for a minute.
And what a relieve; after a tiny eternity I'm greeted with a login screen for my router with a warning that there is no password for root. I went ahead and set one.
and pasting it into the Dropbear input field. You can restrict SSH access to certain interfaces such as Ethernet cable.
Now that we have ssh access we can configure shairport-sync.
The documentation states that one should specify the mixer, but I haven't figured out a way how to get this information for my USB sound card and as the sound and response time was good enough for my taste I left it for another time. It might just mean to install alsamixer to read that information.
It was a lot easier than I thought. Yes, I spent almost an entire day making this work, but at least one hour was fighting with Docker and VirtualBox and almost 4 hours were just spent on waiting for the compilation. If I would try it again, I might want to tewak the settings for the virtual machine, and giving it a bit more power before the actual compilation phase. Another idea is to spin up a server from a Cloud service and do the compilation there.
Compiling OpenWrt on OS X with Web Interface and Airplay support was published on September 21, 2015 .

Looking for Electric Car Charging Point Installers?
Work recently started on the UK's very first EV (electric vehicle) charging forecourt. It's located in Essex, and will provide 24 charging points for cars, with an estimated charge time of 30 minutes. It's not yet as convenient as filling up your car with petrol, but charging times are constantly improving.
In 2019 Nissan published figures showing that Great Britain now has more EV charging stations (9,000) than filling stations (8,396). And at the start of 2020 the UK was named as one of the leading European countries when it comes to our charging infrastructure. With the UK aiming to phase out sales of petrol and diesel cars in 2035, this is the time to ensure that we're fully powered up with sufficient electric car charging points.
CLS – Electric Car Charging Point Installers
At Contract Labour Solutions there are two qualities that are essential to our work as an electrical contractor in Birmingham; adaptability and innovation. Electrical installation is a fast moving industry, and we've learned to move capacity to where it's needed – fast. At present there's a massive demand for electric car charging installers across the West Midlands, so CLS electrical engineers have now added EV charging point installation to their range of electrical services.
Home Electric Car Charging Points
Whilst the national coverage of commercial charging points looks impressive, it's still nowhere near enough to sustain the growing demand. Many people considering buying an electric car are, therefore, thinking about having a home EV charge point installed. So long as you have off-street parking this is a fairly straightforward process.
An EV charging point simply takes the 240V electric supply from your domestic supply and makes it available to charge your car, using a safe connection point. Most electric car owners want a fast and reliable way to charge up their cars, and there are now 3 charging speeds for use at home:
Standard EV Charging – 3kW (16A)
Fast EV Charging – 7kW (32A)
Ultra-Fast EV Charging – 22kW (32A 3 phase)
Commercial Electric Car Charging Points Installation
Businesses are beginning to realise that installing EV charging points is going to become a critical element of the infrastructure they provide. Employees find them useful as they can recharge whilst at work. But they're also an important facility to be able to offer to visitors, clients and suppliers – especially if there's a limited supply of electric car charging points in your area.
Find Out More About CLS EV Charging Point Installation
Whether you need an electric car charging point installed at home, or in the workplace, CLS can help. Our accredited electrical engineers are happy to assess your property or premises and offer detailed guidance on the kind of charging point that would best answer your needs. They can also provide information about government grants for business or home charging points installation in order to keep your costs low.
